Patients were assigned to receive either 10% xylocaine spray in the control group (Group C) or 10% xylocaine spray combined with Entonox (Group E). Procedural success and patient comfort were evaluated using the Bath Gastroscopy Toleration Score and patient comfort scores, with scores of 0 or 1 indicating success.
